Perfect Spot Size Space

We love the location - right in the middle of everything. The container was super clean, well organized and comfortable. We plan on staying here again.

Cozy

My wife and I had a great stay at the Container Retreat. The space was probably a bit small for us, but the containers themselves were clean and well-stocked and we thoroughly enjoyed the hammock and other outdoor appurtenances.

Couple's Getaway

Our stay was great! Perfect size for a couple's quiet getaway. The bed was comfy, the coffee was delicious and soaps/shampoo smelled so good! The host provided timely communications ranging from the how-to's of the container unit and common areas to local restaurant and activity recommendations. The site is flanked by two wineries and is a great beginning and end to wine trail experiences. eeexperig!

Cozy Closet

Very cute little room! Nice linens , bed was a little firm for my comfort level. The room decor was nice. Was a little small for maneuvering around each other. The price was reasonable for our stay.

Container experience

Small but adequate. We got in late so it kinda bugged me that we had to make our own bed. Really need screens on the windows because it gets very humid after a shower and never goes away. Bugs come in if you open the windows. Retreat could be kept up and made cuter. There is a faded (very old) weathered material banner at the intrance. Could use some paint and work on the bathroom door. Still a fun unique experience.
